Nice room with one problem”

Pros: Main staff member speaks perfect English. Double room was nicely decorated, and breakfast was tasty (although quite standard for Vietnam). The hotel was clean and is a great location for walking to most attractions. The free drink upon check in was a nice gesture which made us feel welcome. Cons: The walls of the double room on the top floor were made of wood and had lots of gaps/holes in them. We discovered several pieces of mouse poo on our bed and even saw a mouse twice in our room. The poo was falling through some cracks in the ceiling, which i think needs to be looked at asap.

Good hostel in a very central location. My "bungalow with private terrace" was nothing of the sort (it was a private room on the 5th floor!) but I enjoyed the space and the shabby chic recycled style. Quite noisy - I heard noise from the street and the hostel bar but ear plugs mostly did the trick. Very efficient staff in this busy place.

Staff is super friendly and helpful, clean and comfortable rooms. Had an issue with the locker in my room having a broken lock, since it couldn't be fixed on the fly I was upgraded to a double bed dorm free of charge - most comfortable dorm bed I've ever slept in. Very central, 5min walk from Bui Vien street, close to lots of restaurants and bars. They even exchanged currency on my last day at zero fees.
